Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a coupling hitch of a trailer to a traction vehicle, which aims to provide greater stability in the articulation between the trailer and the vehicle of traction and improve safety in maneuverability actions and a longer life of the hitch.
  • the invention is applicable to any type of traction vehicle that requires towing a trailer, although it is preferably applicable to carry out the spraying of agricultural sprayers or sprinklers, by means of a tractor.
  • hitches for connecting a trailer to a tractor is known, as for example described in the patent document with application number P200800843, which comprises a single-piece body that is provided with a cylindrical part with an axial hole in which an axle is attached to a trailer and which is also provided with a flat part perpendicular to the lateral surface of the cylindrical part.
  • This flat part includes a transverse hole, and is arranged between two lateral branches of the tractor, equipped with holes coincident with the transverse hole of the flat part, to make the fixing to the tractor by means of a pin that allows articulation in the vertical plane between the tractor and trailer.
  • This device has the drawback that the fixing on the tractor is carried out only by means of the pin, the flat part being located between the lateral branches of the tractor, so that the pin must withstand all the tensile and articulation efforts, which affects less stability in the articulation between the trailer and the traction vehicle, and as a consequence it presents a greater deterioration and a shorter useful life of the device.
  • the invention provides a new trailer coupling hitch to a traction vehicle that comprises a central body that is at least provided with a pair of threaded holes, and from which emerge a pair of lugs, between which by means of a transverse axis, a ball joint is held vertically articulated. Furthermore, the central body comprises an extension, configured to be fixed to the frame of the towing vehicle.
  • a screw is arranged, so that its position in the threaded hole is regulated so that they press against the frame of the towing vehicle, so that the position of the hitch is adjusted so that it is arranged in a perpendicular and solidary position on the frame of the towing vehicle.
  • This configuration has the great advantage of allowing the correct positioning and fixing perpendicularity of the hitch to be adjusted on the frame of the towing vehicle, and all this without there being any play in this connection, which provides greater stability in towing the trailer and a Longer useful life of the hitch and the joint, between said trailer and the traction vehicle.
  • an arm is used, one end of which is hinged horizontally on the trailer frame, to allow articulation in the direction horizontal between the trailer and the towing vehicle.
  • the other end of the arm is integral with a ball joint, which is precisely the ball joint that is fixed between the lugs of the hitch of the invention, so that articulation is allowed, both vertically and horizontally, between the trailer and the tractor vehicle.
  • the extension of the central body is constituted by a horizontal portion, which is located between two conventional horizontal plates, which are integral with the frame of the towing vehicle. Furthermore, said horizontal portion comprises a hole in which a pin is inserted that goes through the plates, so that the retention of the hitch is established in the towing vehicle.
  • this configuration of the extension is configured so that it can be fixed in those conventional tractor vehicle frame structures comprising two strips, which are conventionally provided to allow the attachment of trailers to the tractor vehicle.
  • the extension of the central body has a configuration that allows it to be fixed on a conventional horizontal axis, which is integral with the frame of the towing vehicle. To this end, the extension comprises two parallel horizontal portions, each endowed with a hole so that they are aligned with a hole made in the horizontal axis of the frame to retain the hitch on the towing vehicle by means of a pin.
  • both said patella and the lugs comprise a transverse hole, arranged aligned, so that by introducing a transverse axis in said holes, said patellar retention is materialized between the vertically jointed shape.
  • the extension of the central body is provided on the face opposite that of the lugs, in order to achieve the mentioned functionalities.
  • this descriptive memory is accompanied, as an integral part of it, by a set of figures in which, by way of illustration and not limitation, it has been represented the following.
  • Figure 1. Shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the hook of the invention.
  • Figure 2 Shows a perspective view of an example of application of the hitch of figure 1, in a trailer towed by a tractor.
  • Figure 3 Shows a top view of the previous figure with the trailer in another position
  • Figure 4.- Shows a perspective view of another embodiment of the hook of the invention.
  • Figure 5 - Shows a side view of the hitch of figure 4.
  • Figure 6. Shows a perspective view of an example of application of the hitch of Figures 4 and 5 on a trailer towed by a tractor.
  • Figure 7. Shows a top view of figure 6.
  • the hitch comprises a central body 3 which is provided with two threaded holes 4 and from which a pair of lugs 5 emerge, each including holes 6.
  • the central body 3 comprises an extension, constituted by a horizontal portion 7, which is provided with a hole 8. It has also been provided that the central body 3 includes at least two threaded holes 4 in which two screws 17. are arranged as It will be explained later.
  • a ball joint 9 of the conventional type, which is also provided with a transverse hole (not shown) which is aligned with the holes 6 of the lugs 5.
  • the ball joint 9 is attached to the end of a arm 1 1, the other end of which is fixed to a vertical cylindrical tubular body 12, which by means of a shaft 13 is fixed on the frame of the trailer, all in a conventional manner, to allow e! horizontal rotation between tractor 1 and trailer 2, depending on changes in direction made by the towing vehicle.
  • this joint there are conventional stops, not shown in the figures because they are not the object of the invention, which limit the angle of rotation between the towing vehicle 1 and the trailer 2. to a maximum angle of 83 °. according to existing regulations, to avoid that the towing vehicle can contact the trailer, avoiding accidents and providing greater stability in towing the trailer. This limitation is not adequately carried out in the state of the art, as there is a certain amount of clearance in the attachment of the hitch to the towing vehicle, as already described.
  • the horizontal portion 7 is located between two horizontal plates 15, conventional and integral with the frame 14 of the tractor vehicle 1, and comprising respective holes, which are aligned with the hole 8 of the horizontal portion 7, which allows, by means of a pin 16, the coupling connection to the towing vehicle 1 materializes.
  • the position of the screws 17 is regulated, until they press against said frame 14 of the towing vehicle, so that by adjusting the tightening of the locks 17 it is possible to establish the perfect perpendicularity in the attachment of the hitch on the frame of the towing vehicle, at the same time that it avoids that there may be some type of clearance in this connection, which allows the maximum angle a to be properly adjusted. All this provides greater stability in towing the trailer and a longer useful life of the coupling hitch between said trailer and the traction vehicle.
